Important things to note:
Laying cables in between and underneath bricks
Cables can t in between and underneath LEGO® bricks, plates, and tiles
providing they are laid correctly between the LEGO® studs. Do NOT
forcefully join LEGO® together around cables; instead ensure they are laying
comfortably in between each stud.

CAUTION: Forcing LEGO® to connect over a
cable can result in damaging the cable and
light.
Connecting cable connectors to Expansion Boards
Take extra care when inserting connectors to ports of Expansion Boards.
Connectors can be inserted only one way. With the expansion board facing
up, look for the soldered “=” symbol on the left side of the port. The
connector side with the wires exposed should be facing toward the
soldered “=” symbol as you insert into the port. If a plug won’t t easily into
a port connector, do not force it.
Incorrectly inserting the connector can can
result in bent pins inside the port or possible
overheating of the expansion board when
connected.
Connecting cable connectors to Strip Lights
Take extra care when inserting connectors to ports on the Strip Lights.
Connectors can be inserted only one way. With the Strip Light facing up,
ensure the side of the connector with the wires exposed is facing down. If a
plug won’t t easily into a port connector, don’t force it.

Doing so will damage the plug and the connector.
Installing Bit Lights under LEGO® bricks and plates.
When installing Bit Lights under LEGO® pieces, ensure they are placed the
correct way up (Yellow LED component exposed). You can either place
them directly on top of LEGO® studs or in between.
